Recently the NHK news on-line reported the following:

中国の温家宝首相は、中国経済がヨーロッパの信用不安の影響を受けて大きな打撃を受けているという認識を示したうえで、中国の財政には１２兆円余りの余裕があるとして、必要に応じてこうした資金を投じ、景気のてこ入れを図る考えを示しました。

中国の温家宝首相は、１１日、天津で開かれている経済フォーラムに出席し、中国経済の現状について、ヨーロッパの信用不安の影響を受け世界経済が低迷するなか、輸出企業を中心に大きな打撃を受けているという認識を示しました。
そのうえで、「中国政府の財政には１兆元（日本円で１２兆円余り）の余裕がある。われわれは状況に応じて、この資金を経済政策に充て、安定した成長につなげていく」と述べ、必要に応じてこうした資金を投じて、景気のてこ入れを図る考えを示しました。
中国政府は、先週、地下鉄や高速道路の整備など全国で５５の公共事業を実施する方針を承認しており、こうした事業に資金を投じて、景気の回復を図るものとみられます。
中国政府としては、秋の共産党大会を前に景気が悪化する事態を避けるため、豊富な財政資金を投じて、景気の下支えを図る姿勢を鮮明に打ち出したものとみられます。
